200221 – Politico.Com reported that Evan Low, a Calif Assemblyman from Campbell, CA has introduced CA-AB2826 that would ban separation of boys and girls toys in California retail stores.
The bill reads, “A retail department store shall maintain one, undivided area of its sales floor where, if it sells childcare articles, all childcare articles, regardless of whether a particular item has traditionally been marketed for either girls or for boys, shall be displayed”.
No mention was made of whether online retailers such as Amazon would need to display GI Joe’s when a customer asked for a Malibu Barbie.
Calif legislators have veered away from Homelessness, COVID19, and other public concerns.
